In this report, the Facility for the Analysis of Chemical Thermodynamics system is used to develop an accurate model of the Ti-Fe binary system, which is then compared to previous experimental and theoretical results. In addition, metallothermic and carbothermic reduction methods were investigated for the recovery of titanium and silicon. The experiments were performed in a plasma furnace, with the oxidation resistance measured by thermogravimetry and the nature of the oxide determined by x-ray methods. The growth of titanium silicide in a copper melt was studied and its subsequent extraction by leaching techniques is reported.
